It's the middle of the month, time to indulge in La Capannina's legendary thin-based Pizza. Prepared with love and finished in the wood-fired oven, hot and delicious.
For those who are unable to finish the whole pizza and take the leftovers home, and the customers who choose to have a takeaway, we have a recommendation:
A cold pizza warmed in an air fryer for two minutes at 180C will be crispy and tasty, as good as new.
La Capannina has undergone a cosmetic transformation over the past decade.
Despite the physical changes in the appearance of the restaurant, be assured that the food quality and variety offered remain consistent.
Our core values, particularly in terms of culinary excellence and service have been maintained.
Thank you to our loyal customers who have supported us over the years.
